>>The EISCO 2003 conference will take place on 19, 20 and 21 November 2003 
>>in Aalborg, Denmark. The conference theme will be "Integrated Public 
>>Services in the Networking Society at Local and Regional level" (please 
>>find attached the programme).
>>
>>The aim is to organise a discussion on the key and on the forms of 
>>leadership, partnerships and organisation needed at local/regional level 
>>to deploy integrated services using leading-edge ICT technologies.
>>The program of the conference combines plenary sessions integrating major 
>>topics (partnership, infrastructure, organisation and citizens) with 
>>parallel workshops on the key digital priorities of e-Europe 2005: 
>>e-government, e-health, e-learning/knowledge management, e-business, 
>>e-transport and trust and security.
>>
>>The Conference will host keynote speakers at European (e.g. Mr Pedro de 
>>Sampaio Nunes, Director of the Directorate Information Society Strategy 
>>and e-Europe of DG INFSO) and national level (e.g. Mr Helge Sander, 
>>Danish Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation).
>>
>>25 relevant best practices will be analysed in view of providing policy 
>>input to the administrations and companies participating in the 
>>conference. We also expect these inputs to be useful for the European 
>>Commission policies and programmes in the Information Society field. A 
>>special workshop will host the demonstration of a tool for preparing 
>>projects to be financed by structural funds in the CEECs.
>>
>>Last but not least, special attention will be given to the topic of the 
>>Open Source Software, with an ad hoc round table in the fifth plenary 
>>session and with the presentation of the Three Roses, an IST funded 
>>project on the Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) solutions to 
>>modernise the public administration at local and regional level.
>>
>>The conference will be held for the first time in a Nordic country. We 
>>expect a participation of 300 to 400 ICT experts, politicians, local and 
>>regional representatives. As usual, the Conference fees have been kept as 
>>low as possible (150 euro) and will help to finance those services that 
>>will make easier and less costly the stay in Aalborg (among others the 
>>lunches and coffee breaks, the official dinner, the documentation pack).
>>
>>
>>Registration should be done as soon as possible directly from the 
>>conference website <http://www.eisco2003.org/>www.eisco2003.org, at which 
>>further information on the conference can also be obtained.
